This is Doctor Berg. We're going to talk about how to get rid of phlegm or mucus out of child's chest. Now mucus is part of the immune system's way of ridding bacteria or viruses through this system. One of the first things I'm going to recommend is to avoid any milk products, sugar, candy and soda since milk is very mucus producing. And they can have an allergy to it. But the next thing we want to do is increase foods high in vitamin A. One of the best foods for vitamin A would be kale, the problem is how do you get your child to consume kale. What we're going to do is we're going to mix frozen fruit and kale, one handful of each in a glass of water, we're going to blend it for 3 minutes. It'll make a great drink for your child to drink. That will really reduce the time of being sick. Then we're going to add garlic. I recommend adding garlic to the meals that they eat, whether it's you know, a dish that you can add garlic or in a supplement. And the last thing we're going to do is we're going to add fenugreek tea. Fenugreek tea is a great decongestant to help reduce the mucus in the deeper areas of the chest.
